Lola 55 - Baja-style fish taco

In a city that sets the bar for fish tacos, Lola 55’s battered fish taco prepared baja-style brings the heat. Typically served on the side, a squeeze of lime is all you need to top off your taco. For this pairing we suggest strains that have a limonene-dominant terpene profile to add a citrusy element.
